My friend Meredith's birthday is on Nov. 11 so with such a cool date - 11.11.11 - she threw herself a fantastic birthday bash.

It was a black and white themed party held downtown event space. Good food, drinks, music, a champagne toast at 11:11 p.m. and even a cupcake bar - seriously she went all out! Such a fun night and the perfect way to kick off the weekend!

The Swiss Alps have been called the visible throne of God - and wow, I can certainly see why. I thought Malaysia was pretty cool too but I think Switzerland just jumped up a few notches on our travel list.

Hope everyone had a great first weekend of November - I can't believe it's practically mid-November! I haven't done a weekend update in a while but I had such a great weekend I had to do a blog post!

On Friday night my friend Angela, her husband Jake and their adorable twin babies came over to Seattle for a visit! So Friday night a big group of us went out to a little Mexican restaurant called La Carta de Oaxaca in Ballard. It was really great food and obviously really popular as the wait was about an hour for our gruop. Afterwards we went to a French restaurant/bar called Bastille. And I realized when we were there that exactly 2 years ago Nick and I were in France - le sigh! (And I realized I never finished blogging about that trip - maybe someday I'll finish it! haha!)

Saturday we did the UW football game and sadly lost to Oregon, but it was a really great game to watch! And it was the last one in our old stadium before it goes under a $250 million renovation.
